243 244=head1 DESCRIPTION 245 246The EVP cipher routines are a high-level interface to certain 247symmetric ciphers. 248 249The B<EVP_CIPHER> type is a structure for cipher method implementation. 250 251=over 4 252 253=item EVP_CIPHER_fetch() 254 255Fetches the cipher implementation for the given I<algorithm> from any provider 256offering it, within the criteria given by the I<properties>. 257See L<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for further information. 258 259The returned value must eventually be freed with EVP_CIPHER_free(). 260 261Fetched B<EVP_CIPHER> structures are reference counted. 262 263=item EVP_CIPHER_up_ref() 264 265Increments the reference count for an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure. 266 267=item EVP_CIPHER_free() 268 269Decrements the reference count for the fetched B<EVP_CIPHER> structure. 270If the reference count drops to 0 then the structure is freed. 271 272=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new() 273 274Allocates and returns a cipher context. 275 276=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free() 277 278Clears all information from a cipher context and frees any allocated memory 279associated with it, including I<ctx> itself. This function should be called after 280all operations using a cipher are complete so sensitive information does not 281remain in memory. 282 283=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl() 284 285I<This is a legacy method.> EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_params() and 286EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_params() is the mechanism that should be used to set and get 287parameters that are used by providers. 288 289Performs cipher-specific control actions on context I<ctx>. The control command 290is indicated in I<cmd> and any additional arguments in I<p1> and I<p2>. 291EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl() must be called after EVP_CipherInit_ex2(). Other restrictions 292may apply depending on the control type and cipher implementation. 293 294If this function happens to be used with a fetched B<EVP_CIPHER>, it will 295translate the controls that are known to OpenSSL into L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> 296parameters with keys defined by OpenSSL and call EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_params() or 297EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_params() as is appropriate for each control command. 298 299See L</CONTROLS> below for more information, including what translations are 300being done. 301 302=item EVP_CIPHER_get_params() 303 304Retrieves the requested list of algorithm I<params> from a CIPHER I<cipher>. 305See L</PARAMETERS> below for more information. 306 307=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_params() 308 309Retrieves the requested list of I<params> from CIPHER context I<ctx>. 310See L</PARAMETERS> below for more information. 311 312=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_params() 313 314Sets the list of I<params> into a CIPHER context I<ctx>. 315See L</PARAMETERS> below for more information. 316 317=item EVP_CIPHER_gettable_params() 318 319Get a constant B<OSSL_PARAM> array that describes the retrievable parameters 320that can be used with EVP_CIPHER_get_params(). See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for the 321use of B<OSSL_PARAM> as a parameter descriptor. 322 323=item EVP_CIPHER_gettable_ctx_params() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_gettable_params() 324 325Get a constant B<OSSL_PARAM> array that describes the retrievable parameters 326that can be used with EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_params(). 327EVP_CIPHER_gettable_ctx_params() returns the parameters that can be retrieved 328from the algorithm, whereas EVP_CIPHER_CTX_gettable_params() returns the 329parameters that can be retrieved in the context's current state. 330See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for the use of B<OSSL_PARAM> as a parameter descriptor. 331 332=item EVP_CIPHER_settable_ctx_params() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_settable_params() 333 334Get a constant B<OSSL_PARAM> array that describes the settable parameters 335that can be used with EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_params(). 336EVP_CIPHER_settable_ctx_params() returns the parameters that can be set from the 337algorithm, whereas EVP_CIPHER_CTX_settable_params() returns the parameters that 338can be set in the context's current state. 339See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for the use of B<OSSL_PARAM> as a parameter descriptor. 340 341=item EVP_EncryptInit_ex2() 342 343Sets up cipher context I<ctx> for encryption with cipher I<type>. I<type> is 344typically supplied by calling EVP_CIPHER_fetch(). I<type> may also be set 345using legacy functions such as EVP_aes_256_cbc(), but this is not recommended 346for new applications. I<key> is the symmetric key to use and I<iv> is the IV to 347use (if necessary), the actual number of bytes used for the key and IV depends 348on the cipher. The parameters I<params> will be set on the context after 349initialisation. It is possible to set all parameters to NULL except I<type> in 350an initial call and supply the remaining parameters in subsequent calls, all of 351which have I<type> set to NULL. This is done when the default cipher parameters 352are not appropriate. 353For B<EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE> the IV will be generated internally if it is not 354specified. 355 356=item EVP_EncryptInit_ex() 357 358This legacy function is similar to EVP_EncryptInit_ex2() when I<impl> is NULL. 359The implementation of the I<type> from the I<impl> engine will be used if it 360exists. 361 362=item EVP_EncryptUpdate() 363 364Encrypts I<inl> bytes from the buffer I<in> and writes the encrypted version to 365I<out>. This function can be called multiple times to encrypt successive blocks 366of data. The amount of data written depends on the block alignment of the 367encrypted data. 368For most ciphers and modes, the amount of data written can be anything 369from zero bytes to (inl + cipher_block_size - 1) bytes. 370For wrap cipher modes, the amount of data written can be anything 371from zero bytes to (inl + cipher_block_size) bytes. 372For stream ciphers, the amount of data written can be anything from zero 373bytes to inl bytes. 374Thus, I<out> should contain sufficient room for the operation being performed. 375The actual number of bytes written is placed in I<outl>. It also 376checks if I<in> and I<out> are partially overlapping, and if they are 3770 is returned to indicate failure. 378 379If padding is enabled (the default) then EVP_EncryptFinal_ex() encrypts 380the "final" data, that is any data that remains in a partial block. 381It uses standard block padding (aka PKCS padding) as described in 382the NOTES section, below. The encrypted 383final data is written to I<out> which should have sufficient space for 384one cipher block. The number of bytes written is placed in I<outl>. After 385this function is called the encryption operation is finished and no further 386calls to EVP_EncryptUpdate() should be made. 387 388If padding is disabled then EVP_EncryptFinal_ex() will not encrypt any more 389data and it will return an error if any data remains in a partial block: 390that is if the total data length is not a multiple of the block size. 391 392=item EVP_DecryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptUpdate() 393and EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() 394 395These functions are the corresponding decryption operations. 396EVP_DecryptFinal() will return an error code if padding is enabled and the 397final block is not correctly formatted. The parameters and restrictions are 398identical to the encryption operations except that if padding is enabled the 399decrypted data buffer I<out> passed to EVP_DecryptUpdate() should have 400sufficient room for (I<inl> + cipher_block_size) bytes unless the cipher block 401size is 1 in which case I<inl> bytes is sufficient. 402 403=item EVP_CipherInit_ex2(), EVP_CipherInit_ex(), EVP_CipherUpdate() and 404EVP_CipherFinal_ex() 405 406These functions can be used for decryption or encryption. The operation 407performed depends on the value of the I<enc> parameter. It should be set to 1 408for encryption, 0 for decryption and -1 to leave the value unchanged 409(the actual value of 'enc' being supplied in a previous call). 410 411=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_reset() 412 413Clears all information from a cipher context and free up any allocated memory 414associated with it, except the I<ctx> itself. This function should be called 415anytime I<ctx> is reused by another 416EVP_CipherInit() / EVP_CipherUpdate() / EVP_CipherFinal() series of calls. 417 418=item EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit() and EVP_CipherInit() 419 420Behave in a similar way to EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex() and 421EVP_CipherInit_ex() except if the I<type> is not a fetched cipher they use the 422default implementation of the I<type>. 423 424=item EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_DecryptFinal() and EVP_CipherFinal() 425 426Identical to EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptFinal_ex() and 427EVP_CipherFinal_ex(). In previous releases they also cleaned up 428the I<ctx>, but this is no longer done and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup() 429must be called to free any context resources. 430 431=item EVP_Cipher() 432 433Encrypts or decrypts a maximum I<inl> amount of bytes from I<in> and leaves the 434result in I<out>. 435 436For legacy ciphers - If the cipher doesn't have the flag 437B<EVP_CIPH_FLAG_CUSTOM_CIPHER> set, then I<inl> must be a multiple of 438EVP_CIPHER_get_block_size(). If it isn't, the result is undefined. If the cipher 439has that flag set, then I<inl> can be any size. 440 441Due to the constraints of the API contract of this function it shouldn't be used 442in applications, please consider using EVP_CipherUpdate() and 443EVP_CipherFinal_ex() instead. 444 445=item EVP_get_cipherbyname(), EVP_get_cipherbynid() and EVP_get_cipherbyobj() 446 447Returns an B<EVP_CIPHER> structure when passed a cipher name, a cipher B<NID> or 448an B<ASN1_OBJECT> structure respectively. 449 450EVP_get_cipherbyname() will return NULL for algorithms such as "AES-128-SIV", 451"AES-128-CBC-CTS" and "CAMELLIA-128-CBC-CTS" which were previously only 452accessible via low level interfaces. 453 454The EVP_get_cipherbyname() function is present for backwards compatibility with 455OpenSSL prior to version 3 and is different to the EVP_CIPHER_fetch() function 456since it does not attempt to "fetch" an implementation of the cipher. 457Additionally, it only knows about ciphers that are built-in to OpenSSL and have 458an associated NID. Similarly EVP_get_cipherbynid() and EVP_get_cipherbyobj() 459also return objects without an associated implementation. 460 461When the cipher objects returned by these functions are used (such as in a call 462to EVP_EncryptInit_ex()) an implementation of the cipher will be implicitly 463fetched from the loaded providers. This fetch could fail if no suitable 464implementation is available. Use EVP_CIPHER_fetch() instead to explicitly fetch 465the algorithm and an associated implementation from a provider. 466 467See L<crypto(7)/ALGORITHM FETCHING> for more information about fetching. 468 469The cipher objects returned from these functions do not need to be freed with 470EVP_CIPHER_free(). 471 472=item EVP_CIPHER_get_nid() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_nid() 473 474Return the NID of a cipher when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> 475structure. The actual NID value is an internal value which may not have a 476corresponding OBJECT IDENTIFIER. 477 478=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_flags(), EVP_CIPHER_CTX_clear_flags() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_test_flags() 479 480Sets, clears and tests I<ctx> flags. See L</FLAGS> below for more information. 481 482For provided ciphers EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_flags() should be called only after the 483fetched cipher has been assigned to the I<ctx>. It is recommended to use 484L</PARAMETERS> instead. 485 486=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_padding() 487 488Enables or disables padding. This function should be called after the context 489is set up for encryption or decryption with EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), 490EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() or EVP_CipherInit_ex2(). By default encryption operations 491are padded using standard block padding and the padding is checked and removed 492when decrypting. If the I<pad> parameter is zero then no padding is 493performed, the total amount of data encrypted or decrypted must then 494be a multiple of the block size or an error will occur. 495 496=item EVP_CIPHER_get_key_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_key_length() 497 498Return the key length of a cipher when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or 499B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> structure. The constant B<EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH> is the maximum 500key length for all ciphers. Note: although EVP_CIPHER_get_key_length() is fixed for 501a given cipher, the value of EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_key_length() may be different for 502variable key length ciphers. 503 504=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_key_length() 505 506Sets the key length of the cipher context. 507If the cipher is a fixed length cipher then attempting to set the key 508length to any value other than the fixed value is an error. 509 510=item EVP_CIPHER_get_iv_length() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_iv_length() 511 512Return the IV length of a cipher when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or 513B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>. It will return zero if the cipher does not use an IV. 514The constant B<EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH> is the maximum IV length for all ciphers. 515 516=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_tag_length() 517 518Returns the tag length of an AEAD cipher when passed a B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX>. It will 519return zero if the cipher does not support a tag. It returns a default value if 520the tag length has not been set. 521 522=item EVP_CIPHER_get_block_size() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_block_size() 523 524Return the block size of a cipher when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER> or 525B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> structure. The constant B<EVP_MAX_BLOCK_LENGTH> is also the 526maximum block length for all ciphers. 527 528=item EVP_CIPHER_get_type() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_type() 529 530Return the type of the passed cipher or context. This "type" is the actual NID 531of the cipher OBJECT IDENTIFIER and as such it ignores the cipher parameters 532(40 bit RC2 and 128 bit RC2 have the same NID). If the cipher does not have an 533object identifier or does not have ASN1 support this function will return 534B<NID_undef>. 535 536=item EVP_CIPHER_is_a() 537 538Returns 1 if I<cipher> is an implementation of an algorithm that's identifiable 539with I<name>, otherwise 0. If I<cipher> is a legacy cipher (it's the return 540value from the likes of EVP_aes128() rather than the result of an 541EVP_CIPHER_fetch()), only cipher names registered with the default library 542context (see L<OSSL_LIB_CTX(3)>) will be considered. 543 544=item EVP_CIPHER_get0_name() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get0_name() 545 546Return the name of the passed cipher or context. For fetched ciphers with 547multiple names, only one of them is returned. See also EVP_CIPHER_names_do_all(). 548 549=item EVP_CIPHER_names_do_all() 550 551Traverses all names for the I<cipher>, and calls I<fn> with each name and 552I<data>. This is only useful with fetched B<EVP_CIPHER>s. 553 554=item EVP_CIPHER_get0_description() 555 556Returns a description of the cipher, meant for display and human consumption. 557The description is at the discretion of the cipher implementation. 558 559=item EVP_CIPHER_get0_provider() 560 561Returns an B<OSSL_PROVIDER> pointer to the provider that implements the given 562B<EVP_CIPHER>. 563 564=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get0_cipher() 565 566Returns the B<EVP_CIPHER> structure when passed an B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX> structure. 567EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get1_cipher() is the same except the ownership is passed to 568the caller. 569 570=item EVP_CIPHER_get_mode() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_mode() 571 572Return the block cipher mode: 573EVP_CIPH_ECB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CBC_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CFB_MODE, EVP_CIPH_OFB_MODE, 574EVP_CIPH_CTR_MODE, EVP_CIPH_GCM_MODE, EVP_CIPH_CCM_MODE, EVP_CIPH_XTS_MODE, 575EVP_CIPH_WRAP_MODE, EVP_CIPH_OCB_MODE or EVP_CIPH_SIV_MODE. 576If the cipher is a stream cipher then EVP_CIPH_STREAM_CIPHER is returned. 577 578=item EVP_CIPHER_get_flags() 579 580Returns any flags associated with the cipher. See L</FLAGS> 581for a list of currently defined flags. 582 583=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get_num() and EVP_CIPHER_CTX_set_num() 584 585Gets or sets the cipher specific "num" parameter for the associated I<ctx>. 586Built-in ciphers typically use this to track how much of the current underlying block 587has been "used" already. 588 589=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_is_encrypting() 590 591Reports whether the I<ctx> is being used for encryption or decryption. 592 593=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_flags() 594 595A deprecated macro calling C<EVP_CIPHER_get_flags(EVP_CIPHER_CTX_get0_cipher(ctx))>. 596Do not use. 597 598=item EVP_CIPHER_param_to_asn1() 599 600Sets the AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter" based on the passed cipher. This will 601typically include any parameters and an IV. The cipher IV (if any) must be set 602when this call is made. This call should be made before the cipher is actually 603"used" (before any EVP_EncryptUpdate(), EVP_DecryptUpdate() calls for example). 604This function may fail if the cipher does not have any ASN1 support. 605 606=item EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() 607 608Sets the cipher parameters based on an ASN1 AlgorithmIdentifier "parameter". 609The precise effect depends on the cipher. In the case of B<RC2>, for example, 610it will set the IV and effective key length. 611This function should be called after the base cipher type is set but before 612the key is set. For example EVP_CipherInit() will be called with the IV and 613key set to NULL, EVP_CIPHER_asn1_to_param() will be called and finally 614EVP_CipherInit() again with all parameters except the key set to NULL. It is 615possible for this function to fail if the cipher does not have any ASN1 support 616or the parameters cannot be set (for example the RC2 effective key length 617is not supported. 618 619=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_rand_key() 620 621Generates a random key of the appropriate length based on the cipher context. 622The B<EVP_CIPHER> can provide its own random key generation routine to support 623keys of a specific form.

This call can only be made before specifying an IV. If 1287not called a default IV length is used. 1288 1289For GCM AES and OCB AES the default is 12 (i.e. 96 bits).

If this is not called prior to encryption, a default tag length is 1314used. 1315 1316For OCB AES, the default tag length is 16 (i.e. 128 bits). It is also the 1317maximum tag length for OCB. 1318 1319=back 1320 1321=head2 CCM Mode 1322 1323The EVP interface for CCM mode is similar to that of the GCM mode but with a 1324few additional requirements and different I<ctrl> values. 1325 1326For CCM mode, the total plaintext or ciphertext length B<MUST> be passed to 1327EVP_CipherUpdate(), EVP_EncryptUpdate() or EVP_DecryptUpdate() with the output 1328and input parameters (I<in> and I<out>) set to B<NULL> and the length passed in 1329the I<inl> parameter. 1330 1331The following I<ctrl>s are supported in CCM mode. 1332 1333=over 4 1334 1335=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_TAG, taglen, tag) 1336 1337This call is made to set the expected B<CCM> tag value when decrypting or 1338the length of the tag (with the C<tag> parameter set to NULL) when encrypting. 1339The tag length is often referred to as B<M>. If not set a default value is 1340used (12 for AES). When decrypting, the tag needs to be set before passing 1341in data to be decrypted, but as in GCM and OCB mode, it can be set after 1342passing additional authenticated data (see L</AEAD INTERFACE>). 1343 1344=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_CCM_SET_L, ivlen, NULL) 1345 1346Sets the CCM B<L> value. If not set a default is used (8 for AES). 1347 1348=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_IVLEN, ivlen, NULL) 1349 1350Sets the CCM nonce (IV) length. This call can only be made before specifying a 1351nonce value. The nonce length is given by B<15 - L> so it is 7 by default for 1352AES. 1353 1354=back 1355 1356=head2 SIV Mode 1357 1358For SIV mode ciphers the behaviour of the EVP interface is subtly 1359altered and several additional ctrl operations are supported. 1360 1361To specify any additional authenticated data (AAD) and/or a Nonce, a call to 1362EVP_CipherUpdate(), EVP_EncryptUpdate() or EVP_DecryptUpdate() should be made 1363with the output parameter I<out> set to B<NULL>. 1364 1365RFC5297 states that the Nonce is the last piece of AAD before the actual 1366encrypt/decrypt takes place. The API does not differentiate the Nonce from 1367other AAD. 1368 1369When decrypting the return value of EVP_DecryptFinal() or EVP_CipherFinal() 1370indicates if the operation was successful. If it does not indicate success 1371the authentication operation has failed and any output data B<MUST NOT> 1372be used as it is corrupted. 1373 1374The following ctrls are supported in both SIV modes. 1375 1376=over 4 1377 1378=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_AEAD_GET_TAG, taglen, tag); 1379 1380Writes I<taglen> bytes of the tag value to the buffer indicated by I<tag>. 1381This call can only be made when encrypting data and B<after> all data has been 1382processed (e.g. after an EVP_EncryptFinal() call).

This call is only legal 1388when decrypting data and must be made B<before> any data is processed (e.g. 1389before any EVP_DecryptUpdate() call). For SIV mode the taglen must be 16. 1390 1391=back 1392 1393SIV mode makes two passes over the input data, thus, only one call to 1394EVP_CipherUpdate(), EVP_EncryptUpdate() or EVP_DecryptUpdate() should be made 1395with I<out> set to a non-B<NULL> value. A call to EVP_Decrypt_Final() or 1396EVP_CipherFinal() is not required, but will indicate if the update 1397operation succeeded. 1398 1399=head2 ChaCha20-Poly1305 1400 1401The following I<ctrl>s are supported for the ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD algorithm. 1402 1403=over 4 1404 1405=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_IVLEN, ivlen, NULL) 1406 1407Sets the nonce length. This call can only be made before specifying the nonce. 1408If not called a default nonce length of 12 (i.e. 96 bits) is used. The maximum 1409nonce length is 12 bytes (i.e. 96-bits). If a nonce of less than 12 bytes is set 1410then the nonce is automatically padded with leading 0 bytes to make it 12 bytes 1411in length. 1412 1413=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_AEAD_GET_TAG, taglen, tag) 1414 1415Writes C<taglen> bytes of the tag value to the buffer indicated by C<tag>. 1416This call can only be made when encrypting data and B<after> all data has been 1417processed (e.g. after an EVP_EncryptFinal() call). 1418 1419C<taglen> specified here must be 16 (B<POLY1305_BLOCK_SIZE>, i.e. 128-bits) or 1420less. 1421 1422=item EVP_CIPHER_CTX_ctrl(ctx, EVP_CTRL_AEAD_SET_TAG, taglen, tag) 1423 1424Sets the expected tag to C<taglen> bytes from C<tag>. 1425The tag length can only be set before specifying an IV. 1426C<taglen> must be between 1 and 16 (B<POLY1305_BLOCK_SIZE>) inclusive. 1427This call is only valid when decrypting data. 1428 1429=back 1430 1431=head1 NOTES 1432 1433Where possible the B<EVP> interface to symmetric ciphers should be used in 1434preference to the low-level interfaces. This is because the code then becomes 1435transparent to the cipher used and much more flexible. Additionally, the 1436B<EVP> interface will ensure the use of platform specific cryptographic 1437acceleration such as AES-NI (the low-level interfaces do not provide the 1438guarantee). 1439 1440PKCS padding works by adding B<n> padding bytes of value B<n> to make the total 1441length of the encrypted data a multiple of the block size. Padding is always 1442added so if the data is already a multiple of the block size B<n> will equal 1443the block size. For example if the block size is 8 and 11 bytes are to be 1444encrypted then 5 padding bytes of value 5 will be added. 1445 1446When decrypting the final block is checked to see if it has the correct form. 1447 1448Although the decryption operation can produce an error if padding is enabled, 1449it is not a strong test that the input data or key is correct. A random block 1450has better than 1 in 256 chance of being of the correct format and problems with 1451the input data earlier on will not produce a final decrypt error. 1452 1453If padding is disabled then the decryption operation will always succeed if 1454the total amount of data decrypted is a multiple of the block size. 1455 1456The functions EVP_EncryptInit(), EVP_EncryptInit_ex(), 1457EVP_EncryptFinal(), EVP_DecryptInit(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex(), 1458EVP_CipherInit(), EVP_CipherInit_ex() and EVP_CipherFinal() are obsolete 1459but are retained for compatibility with existing code. New code should 1460use EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2(), 1461EVP_DecryptFinal_ex(), EVP_CipherInit_ex2() and EVP_CipherFinal_ex() 1462because they can reuse an existing context without allocating and freeing 1463it up on each call. 1464 1465There are some differences between functions EVP_CipherInit() and 1466EVP_CipherInit_ex(), significant in some circumstances. EVP_CipherInit() fills 1467the passed context object with zeros. As a consequence, EVP_CipherInit() does 1468not allow step-by-step initialization of the ctx when the I<key> and I<iv> are 1469passed in separate calls. It also means that the flags set for the CTX are 1470removed, and it is especially important for the 1471B<EVP_CIPHER_CTX_FLAG_WRAP_ALLOW> flag treated specially in 1472EVP_CipherInit_ex(). 1473 1474EVP_get_cipherbynid(), and EVP_get_cipherbyobj() are implemented as macros. 1475 1476=head1 BUGS 1477 1478B<EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH> and B<EVP_MAX_IV_LENGTH> only refer to the internal 1479ciphers with default key lengths. If custom ciphers exceed these values the 1480results are unpredictable. This is because it has become standard practice to 1481define a generic key as a fixed unsigned char array containing 1482B<EVP_MAX_KEY_LENGTH> bytes. 1483 1484The ASN1 code is incomplete (and sometimes inaccurate) it has only been tested 1485for certain common S/MIME ciphers (RC2, DES, triple DES) in CBC mode. 1486 1487=head1 EXAMPLES 1488 1489Encrypt a string using IDEA: 1490 1491 int do_crypt(char *outfile) 1492 { 1493 unsigned char outbuf[1024]; 1494 int outlen, tmplen; 1495 /* 1496 * Bogus key and IV: we'd normally set these from 1497 * another source. 1498 */ 1499 unsigned char key[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15}; 1500 unsigned char iv[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}; 1501 char intext[] = "Some Crypto Text"; 1502 EVP_CIPHER_CTX *ctx; 1503 FILE *out; 1504 1505 ctx = EVP_CIPHER_CTX_new(); 1506 EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(ctx, EVP_idea_cbc(), key, iv, NULL); 1507 1508 if (!EVP_EncryptUpdate(ctx, outbuf, &outlen, intext, strlen(intext))) { 1509 /* Error */ 1510 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx); 1511 return 0; 1512 } 1513 /* 1514 * Buffer passed to EVP_EncryptFinal() must be after data just 1515 * encrypted to avoid overwriting it. 1516 */ 1517 if (!EVP_EncryptFinal_ex(ctx, outbuf + outlen, &tmplen)) { 1518 /* Error */ 1519 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx); 1520 return 0; 1521 } 1522 outlen += tmplen; 1523 EVP_CIPHER_CTX_free(ctx); 1524 /* 1525 * Need binary mode for fopen because encrypted data is 1526 * binary data.
